I think that overall FrontPage 2000 is the best choice. It doesn't do some of the nice things that Dreamweaver and some others can do, but it's a whole lot easier to use, and keeps track of your work very well. As long as you don't use themes or anything, it doesn't play with your HTML too much, either. It's been a tremendous timesaver for me.

Dreamweaver, hands down! As log as you aren't using PHP, ASP, etc pages, the site management capabilities will run circles around any MS product all day. Now that there is Dreamweaver UltraDev (which will build database driven sites), Macromedia has the advantage in this field!

freesources: let's just wait what the results are of the DW vs FP2k competition. Before then don't be too eager to announce that your so beloved FP2000 is the best editor, I think that everyone can make that decission perfectly on his/her own.

There are tons of editors on the market and the truth is that you shouldn't bother with most of them. Trying every editor is just about impossible - you'd have to spend a fortune. FrontPage is better at some things, and Dreamweaver is better at others.

There is no true "best editor" just what is best for you. People have different needs.

As I have said a million times: FrontPage is great for newbies and people who know MS Office and are comfortable working with it. Dreamweaver is more powerful, so if you consider yourself advanced you would be better off using that.

A highly biased opinion I'm sure, and one that I find somewhat ignorant.

FrontPage is very useful to people looking to create sites quickly...just because you code by hand doesn't mean that anyone who doesn't do so is doing something wrong. Quality sites can be created with WYSIWYG programs..."period."

I don't like Notepad...I think coding totally by hand is tedious and a waste of time to some degree...but do I totally discourage it or say it "sucks"? No, because I'm not so naive to think that there is one "correct" way to create websites.

You develop you're way, I'll develop mine, and everyone else will develop their way. I'm not trying to come down on you here, but I think your statement was a bit out of line.
